We are winless there in 3of 4 attempts this season,and that includes two crushing defeats at the hands of the Bulldogs and Swans. *but did beat Adelaide as pointed out below..cheers!*

Conversely we are undefeated at the MCG this year so far and rolled the 3rd placed Collingscum in style.
If this trend were to continue we have a chance of playing finals footy that looked very remote after Rd 3.
We have 5 MCG games left this season (including tonights game against Melbourne) one in Sydney and 2 at the dome against Carlton and Brisbane,who you'd assume we would have to beat if we were to figure in the top 8.
My worry is this bloody Dome hoodoo.We must find a way to win there or it'll cost us big!
 
AAMI was once a hoo doo as well, as we continue to improve we will win anywhere,good sides win anywhere :clap :hihi
 
What is it with us and the dome? I don't understand. Anyhow, this is a hoodoo breaking year, we will demolish Carlton and Brisbane when we play them there.
 
yeah im pretty sure we beat adelaide at the dome.... cause i was there

Dogs - bad games

Sydnay - bad game

St Kilda - should have won

I dont think we have played any other games there ?

Um...Adelaide?

Of course!! My Bad.........but we have a shocking record there all the same.

Anyone know the win loss record??
Overall Richmond has played at the dome 43 times, won 17 and lost 26.  Win % of 39.53.

It even gets worse when you look at their last 20 games played there.   Of their last 20 games played at the Dome, Richmond have won 5 and lost 15 (25% win percentage).

However, at the MCG, Richmond have won 10 of their last 12 games (83.3 win %),  including their last 4 games there.

It's all about the team makeup im afraid. When the dome first opened we had the best record there of any side in the competition in the first couple of years. Then Danny frawley became coach. >:(

I know what your saying and agree with the sentiment,but if you look at the stats Larrakin provided the worrying thing is we are no better at the Dome under Wallace than we were under Spud!
 
Being a team with alot of pace I would of thought that the dome suited us as well as any team. I guess that the reason we suck there is cause of our turnovers ...they are real costly at the dome.

Actually TD opened in 2000 when Frawley took over, can't blame him for that one. But guilty as charged on the other counts. :police:
